Today we had a chance to visit the stadium and meet the whole 2008-09 Virginia Tech football team. It was so exciting for Ethan and Tabitha (and Daddy too!). The kids each had their own footballs to get autographed. Tabitha even said "thank you" to all of the players as they signed the football.
We arrived about a half hour early so we had some time in line to try to get a picture of the two of them together. It worked out pretty well, amazingly. You can see the picture their "official hokie kids club t-shirts".
After a few minutes of picture taking it all turned a little crazy! This must be the inner monster coming out of them!
Here is Sean Glennon.
Tabitha and Ethan had their picture taken with Macho Harris. . .
and Tyrod Taylor!
The Hokie Bird was there too and we couldn't miss a visit with him! Luckily we will get to see him again at the Hokie Bird's birthday party in October. Tabitha wasn't too sure about getting really close to him though. She had to stand in front of Ethan in order to be "safe". That put at least one person between her and the huge furry creature!
This was the end result. Two completely filled footballs for Ethan and Tabitha to keep in their rooms. Now we just have to keep them away from Daddy who wants to steel them to put in the basement!

Brian is going to be so jealous!!! There are definitely some perks to being back in Blacksburg - enjoy!
Really I would have come down and taken them. I am sure you and Brian could have used the break. I am just trying to help you out and all, it would have nothing to do with me pushing in front of the other kids to have a football signed...I swear.
